The Event: Francigena musica is the ideal tool to bring the religious and historical-archaeological and folkloristic culture of Acquapendente together, in that which is named the Jerusalem of Europe thanks to the presence of copy of the most ancient Sacred Shrine of Jerusalem. Acquapendente and its surrounding area has always been a borderland and transit route. It has been crossed by one of the most important routes, connecting the north to the south, since Medieval times: the Via Francigena. Traversed by Kings, Popes, armies, traders and naturally pilgrims, for centuries, their destination being San Pietro of Rome or even the Sacred Shrine of Jerusalem. This arterial road brought diverse people in contact, allowing them to meet and share ideas and cultures.

The project offers cultural and musical events in the splendid frame of the historic buildings of Acquapendente. The initiative is the means to get to know and promote outstanding historical, cultural and religious aspects of the city. Both professionals, who live and work in alta Tuscia, and figures of international fame, with the aim of adding value to the exposition and enriching the artistic grandeur.
